MEMORIES

of 1954-55

Hobart High School
Hobart, Indiana

Growing Up

at Hobart High

Growing, growing — day by day, year by year
— growing up and out the seams. That is what
Hobart High School students are doing from the
time they begin their careers as freshmen until
they are seniors, nearly matured and ready for
commencement to bigger and better things in a
promising future.

Our school has been changing too. Since
the time long ago in 1877 when the first part
was built, it has continued to grow along with its
students until today, with an enrollment of 1085,
we can hear it creak with age and at the same
time cry out for relief from its never-ending grow-
ing pains.

As surely as students will continue to grow
and mature, Hobart High School will also need
to grow accordingly. The time has come for bigger
and better things in the way of a new school.
We look forward to the coming years with the
anticipation of the fulfillment of such plans.
Until that day we must be patient with the grow-
ing process.

Let us pause for a look backward over an-
other year in the history of that time worn but
beloved edifice, Hobart High School, and at the
same time review another year of growth in our
own lives.

Growing Up . . . .

The Methodist Annex, a scene of con-
fusion each day, must be used by Mr.
Stewart’s government and economics classes.
Rain or shine, sleet or snow, the seniors
must attend classes there because of the
over-crowded building, then trudge across
the street — often late and sometimes cold
and wet — to the main building.

Our cafeteria serves many purposes. When it is not
being used for regular luncheons, it is necessary to use
it for certain school activities, parent-teacher meetings,
club parties, and even as a study hall.

Out The Seams

Our halls, crowded with students passing to and
from classes, present many traffic problems. Most of
them are too narrow, and congestion occurs in various
places throughout the building every time the bell rings.

Eight biology classes like this one are held
each day. Even though there has been an extra
teacher added to instruct this course in the past
two years, classes keep growing by leaps and
bounds. Facilities are inadequate and space is
all too limited for proper biology study and
lab work.

But Work and Play The

Room 111 is filled with busy typing students
from zero hour until the end of the school day.
While the typewriters are getting a work-out,
many girls and boys learn an important and use-
ful skill. Besides general manipulation of their
machines, they find that it is necessary to be
accurate at all times, to follow directions, and
to use good judgment.

The learning privileges that high school students
enjoy daily were extended to adults during the second
semester. A wide variety of night classes enabled them
to brush up on subjects that had become hazy or to
learn more about the ones that seemed interesting. The
response that was made to the adult education program
was very satisfactory, with over one .hundred enrolled the
first year, and it is hoped that in the future the demand
and the accommodations will be even greater.

Hobart way

Barbara Burke and Bill Matan reigned
as king and queen at the second annual
school carnival this spring. The con-
cessions provided many interesting pos-
sibilities for a good time. Style shows,
a sponge throw, fortune telling, and
“Club ’55” were a few of the many
activities.

The junior class party, “Moulin Rouge," provided an interesting and
entertaining evening for many of the junior students. Roosevelt Gym was
transformed into a small cafe complete with can-can girls and a “soda-bar”
for the gay party.

With Old Friends and

This group of freshman students pre-
sents a familiar sight to many of us.
New friendships and acquaintances are
often made over an “after school coke,”
and conversation is usually directed to
hashing over events of the school day.

Manfred Osterode (center), born in Tunbergo,
Germany, came to Hobart High as a junior this year.
He is shown here talking with Dewey Bland and
Harry Todd, two of his many new friends.

New Faces

The friendly greetings of Emil Henschel, long-time
custodian at Hobart High School, will be a part of our
many pleasant high school memories.

Our teachers have become our friends during our high school
years, and some will continue to guide and teach students long after
we are gone. Miss Gladys Anderson and Miss Lola Stewart are among
faculty members who have been at Hobart High School for many
years.

No, this is not Grand Central Station . . . it’s the senior locker
room with its usual groups of old friends, who congregate to discuss
“the latest.”

The rope necklace was a popular piece of
jewelry this year, and almost every girl owned at
least one pair. This is just another one of the
fashions that has been brought hack from the
past to become popular again. Shown here are
Sandra Ramsey, Judy Ferkinhoff, and Linda
Zimmerman wearing their favorites.

Many extremes in hair styles were noted in Hobart High School this year.
Girls wore their hair in lengths that ranged from the very short “DA” cut to
long hair. The “crew cut” was still popular with the boys, and included a varia-
tion called the “flat top.” Other boys chose to look shiekish in a long “DA” cut.
At the same time they saved money on barber bills. Mary Cortese, Andy Sepke,
John Malmquist, and Vivian Isakson show these different hair styles.

New Fads and

Fashions

Each school year has its distinctive
fads and fashions that are adopted by
the majority of students. Some of
these remain for quite a while, others
are only temporary. The changes in
fads and fashions are outstanding
memories of our high school days.

The long knee sox that are seen so frequently on college campuses were worn
by many Hobart girls this year. This fad that has added a colorful note to school
outfits, like most fads, was started by a small group of people. Many others took
up the attractive idea, and soon it was a widespread fashion. Rene Distell, Kareen
Kienly, Sally Herrick, Janet Erwin, Betty Stephens, Mary Murray, Jackie Moon,
Mary Lee Phillips, Jocelyn Hahn, and Arden Lee Campbell are shown modeling
their knee sox.

The Wright-Shannon parade was a long one, and as it traveled
in the vicinity of the school, Tom and Carol, the winners, rode in
a convertible where the students could view them.

All the candidates had many friends and admirers to back
them strongly during this year’s election campaign. This group
met the night before the election to make final plans for Jim
Freeland's campaign parade.

Purple Slate Victorious

Hobart High became the center
of a gala and colorful campaign
as preparations for the annual
election of mayor and clerk-treas-
urer began. Candidates were Jim
Freeland and Tom Wright for
mayor and Jane Hawke and Carol
Shannon for clerk-treasurer. Eye-
catching posters, clever announce-
ments, and a pre-election convo
for the purpose of introducing the
candidates all added to the excite-
ment. The campaigning was cli-
maxed by a wild parade which will
probably bring back vivid mem-
ories to many, especially to those
whose cars received dented fen-
ders.

The 1954 Homecoming was prepared for
with great anticipation and a mad combina-
tion of excited campaigning for queen, lawn
displays by the various classes, and pep
talks for the team.

The name of the queen was not disclosed
to any one until the three final candidates
were assembled for the crowning at half
time. Mayor Tom Wright announced Bar-
bara Kane to be the school’s choice as
Homecoming queen.

The girls were presented with red roses
and they left the field with their escorts to
view the game. Our boys were disappointed
with a one-sided defeat, but the Edison team
later went on to win the conference title.

Immediately following the crowning.
Queen Barbara Kane and her runner-up,
Dolly Sanak, with their escorts, Stewart
Kraft and John Mosley walk from the
field as the spectators get ready to see
the second half of the Hobart-Edison
game.

The Homecoming game which was originally scheduled against Griffith was postponed when Brickie Bowl
was converted into a small ocean by a steady three day downpour. Students looked wth awe at the waters that
reached the top of the metal fence in front of the concrete bleachers. The football locker room was completely
flooded, and a raft was used to rescue equipment.

Over Homecoming Festivities

The class of ’57 took first place honors with their Homecoming display.
Those who worked to make it a success — first row: Sue Miller, Janet Scott,
David Mergl, Bess Larson, Nancy Osborn, and Chuck Hallas. Second row:
Cleo Cope. Sue Mills, Carolyn Martin, Rosemarie Morganelli, and Don Koons.
Standing: Ronnie Kelly and Alice Johnston.

The grand march was a highlight of the customary
after-game dance. Leading the march are Queen
Barbara Kane, and Bill Gravel, co-captain of the foot-
ball team, followed by the other members of the court,
and all students attending the dance.

The Four Sharps, a vocal group consisting of Sylvia Larson,
Jackie Moon, Sharon Hanson, and Bess Larson added a pleasant
hit of harmony when they sang in their “barber shop” style.

Another one of the top acts was Barbara Cisman who
played her accordion. The instrumental solos, along with
the many other fine acts, showed the various talents pos-
sessed by our students.

Hobart High Has Talent

Sally LePell, who has often presented her panto-
mime acts for the entertainment of high school groups,
was one of the favorites at the Talent Convo.

Hay Daves and Louie Hill provided unique entertainment with their comedy
act which combined singing and playing the guitar. They seemed to enjoy
performing as much as the students enjoyed listening to them.

This exhibit of the various stages of
development of a chick embryo won
Eugene Reisinger a grand prize rating
in the local science fair, held here
early this spring.

Science Fair

Bruce Hunsicker won a grand prize
at the local fair with his collection of
sea shells, beautifully displayed. He has
acquired many unique and interesting
shells since he began his collection two
years ago.

Bill Matan also received first place
honors with his collection of many dif-
ferent kinds of semi-precious stones and
minerals. His exhibit attracted the at-
tention of many.

Seniors Took Over

Senior Day was one of the out-
standing activities of the school
year. On that day members of
the senior class took over the
teaching and administrative posi-
tions, along with other tasks that
make the school run smoothly.
These seniors made up the ad-
ministrative group and were re-
sponsible for the more important
guidance activities of the day.
They were chosen by the student
council, the organization that
sponsors Senior Day.

These students acted as school board
members on Senior Day- Standing, left

French and Douglas La Barr with back

proposed new school bus routes which
were discussed at their meeting.

It was a life of “rest and relaxation” for these teachers while the students took over their various classes on Senior Day. Though
many students might be surprised to hear it, this is a very rare scene in the teachers’ room during the day.

the School for a Day

Tom Wright, Dick Netzhammer, and Jack Wuletich did an excellent job of
taking care of those people who didn't take Senior Day quite as seriously as they
should have. They took the places of high school principal, director of guidance,
and dean of hoys.

"The Life of a Mexican Bean Beetle" might
well be the topic of a discussion led by Barbara
Klindt, biology teacher.

Activities

One can hardly deny that the classroom and its
functions are the nuclei of any school. Yet it is
evident that the many other activities of a high school
are the sustaining factors which strike a comparatively
equal balance between the humdrum and the lively.
The old adage about Jack — all work, no play, and
dullness — cannot be applied to Hobart High. A
student may choose the band, the choir, the convos,
the dances, the athletics, and the many, many clubs.
Let him combine these in a well-balanced manner
so that the experiences he derives from them will add
an inch or more to his mental and physical stature.

A Cappella Choir

GIRLS TRIO — Myrna Smith, Rose Lee Ewigleben,
Pat Wolfe, Mr. Gene Simons, director, Louise Brown ac-
companist.

The largest A Cappella choir Hobart has ever
had was this year under the direction of Mr. Gene
Simons, who came to us from Delphi, Indiana. He
received degrees in music from Murray State
Teacher’s College, in Murray, Kentucky, and from
the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michi-
gan. During his teaching career he has directed
several top contest vocal ensembles. Mr. Simons
has done equally well at Hobart, sending three
ensembles to the regional contest and one to state
in Indianapolis where they received high honors.

The choir, with a community chorus, again
presented George F. Handel’s great “Messiah” this
past holiday season. The accomplished works of
Handel provided an inspirational flavor for the
opening of the Christmas season.

Other performances by the choir were many
convocations, the spring concert and the spring
tour. They were invited to sing for Indiana State
Teacher’s College in Terre Haute, Indiana and
gave other performances at various points along
the way. The tour provided an exciting finale for
a successful year.

The Hobart High School Concert Band
under the direction of Mr. Albert Leach
entertained many people with fine pro-
grams this year.

Members of the band participated in a
busy season of programs and contests. The
year started off with the Fall Pop concert
and the Christmas concert. Besides prac-
ticing for those appearances, student bands-
men had the contests to think about and
practice for. “It pays to practice!” may
well be the slogan of the members of the
band who participated in the state solo
and ensemble contest, however, for of the
17 persons who went down state eight re-
ceived medals for first; seven for second;
and two for third place.

Concert

Band

The highlight of the band year always
proves to be the annual spring tour. Bright
and early on the morning of April 26,
members of the band were standing in
front of school anxiously awaiting the
word of Mr. Leach that would start them
on their way. The buses carried the band
about 1,400 miles that week on a tour that
consisted of seeing and playing at such
places as Cleveland, New York, and De-
troit. While in Canada of course, they vis-
ited Niagara Falls and probably wished
that the tour was a little hit longer.

Their spring concert in May was their
final production of the year.

Forming the traditional “H” on our home field is only one
of the many formations perfected by the marching band each
year. Much tedious work went into the Homecoming half-time
program as the Halloween Show, the last of the season, was
presented in honor of Homecoming Queen, Barbara Kane.

Hobart High School
Marching Band

This year the marching band’s half-time
football programs were few, as the flood rav-
aged the field making practice impossible.
Nevertheless, three fine and entertaining pro-
grams were prepared. Community Singing,
the Halloween Show, and the American
Cowboy Show. Due to the wet fields, the
latter w’as not presented.

The marching band traveled to Purdue
University to participate in the First Annual
High School Band Day. Teaming up with 82
bands from all over Indiana, the Hobart
marching band took part in providing half-
time entertainment at the Purdue-Duke game.
The combined bands in three formations
played various selections including the Pur-
due school song.

Fred Libkie, drum major, shows us how it’s done, as
he leads the band through one of their routines. Fred did
a great job this year, and his superb half-time performances
were enjoyed by all.

This year the Student Council worked hard
on many profitable projects. In the fall, mem-
bers were appointed to place instructions for
fire drills in each room in the building. They
appointed moniters to check congested areas
during fire drills, and also a committee to
paint and refill the fire extinguishers.

They sponsored a clean-up campaign to
give our school a new face. Walls were washed
and painted by student volunteers, the lawns
were cleaned up, and many other projects were
completed to improve the looks of the school.

The council sponsored the annual Talent
convocation this spring, with many student
acts performing for the enjoyment of the whole
student body.

Also in the spring they introduced to the
students plans for a Code of Ethics at Hobart
High. It was brought up in home-rooms and
discussed by council representatives. After
considerable thought and suggestions we de-
cided to write a code of our own, using some
of the points which have been used success-
fully by several high schools in the area.

No, that’s not Les Paul performing in Room 307, it’s Ray Daves and
Lewis Hill auditioning before Bob Shone, Jane Hawke, Sue Epperson, and
Jennie Speer for the Talent Convo. An array of delightful acts made the
program a great success.

National Honor Society

The fall induction of the National Honor Society this year
included fourteen proud and happy seniors whose qualities of
leadership, scholarship, character, and service were honored.

The society is a group which has undertaken many projects
this year. They tabulated and published the honor roll stand-
ings for each six weeks’ grading period. They sponsored a
chili supper for students who had maintained a 2.5 average for
the first semester. They also met with guidance directors to
help counsel students who seemed to be having difficulty with
their grades.

Future Teachers
of America

The distinction of being one of
the most active clubs in school
could easily be held by F.T.A.
The members gain new teaching
experience as they are excused to
teach classes in the various grade
schools.

While reading to these first graders,
Janet Carlson is creating friendly and co-
operative attitudes among them, a goal of
each F.T.A. member. With this accom-
plished, discipline is usually a small mat-
ter and teaching can then be a rewarding
experience.

Speech Club

Highlighting this year's activities was
the annual trip to Purdue for two days
of intense debating. Such issues as con-
gressional investigations took much re-
search as illustrated by Arden Camp-
bell, Myrna Smith, Mary Lee Phillips,
Bonnie Scharbach, and Rene Distell.

Usher Club

Those helpful guys you see at every
convo and ball game, always ready to
find you a seat, are none other than
members of the Ushers Club. Pausing
for a moment on a busy afternoon are
Herb Peterson, Pete Bessigano, Fred
Kyle, Dave Mergl, Tom Mole, Ken
Schroeder, Jon Ewigleben, and Jack
Caldwell.

Librarians

Making decorations and bookmarkers
for the library is only one of the many
jobs the librarians accomplish. They
keep the books in good order, check
them out and take care of the maga-
zines and papers. All is not work for
these charming girls, however, for many
pleasant afternoons of fun and talk are
passed away while working. Maybe
Janet Schmelter, Barbara Cisman, Bar-
bara Burke, and Rita Schultz are think-
ing about a party that the club will be
having soon.

Jack Walker watches intently to make sure Douglas LaBarr
measures exactly the right amount to insure the success of this
experiment. Although this test is an interesting one, most students
bear other opinions whenever noticeable odors prevail in the vicin-
ity of room 208. Wonder why??!!

“Looking for something, Eugene?” could easily be the query
of any student who drops into room 204 after school, as an exhibit
on chick embryology for the Science Fair is being prepared by
Eugene Reisinger. This is only one of the fine projects upon which
many hours were spent.

Science

Barbara Klindt eagerly watches as Vivian Isakson and Dolly
Sanak make adjustments on the darkroom equipment they will use
in making an enlargement of their print. Good luck, girls!

BI-PHY-CHEM CLUB

Of the various clubs, perhaps those dealing with
science give a student the best opportunity to display
hidden talents through the combination of a creative
mind and hours of hard work.

Of course, as all work and no play made Jack
a dull boy, so science would be dull without varied
activities, one of these being a fascinating hypnotism
demonstration by Mr. Moody. Films on minerals,
inventions, and other scientific topics are also greatly
enjoyed.

CAMERA CLUB

As the year flies by, Hobart High's ‘shutterbugs’ become
busier and busier as yearbook deadlines loom ahead. Taking
pictures for the yearbook is no easy task as so often each is
not only taken but often must be taken over. They always
come through with flying colors, though, and may we say
“Hats off” to each photographer who helped the yearbook staff
in making a successful annual.

Latin Club

Studying the background, social life,
and other aspects of the Roman Empire was
one of the club’s interesting activities. A
bit more on the humorous side was a pan-
tomimed football game performed by the
members for the Latin classes, with Caesar’s
forces opposing Pompey’s men. Carrying
through a Roman theme, the annual Christ-
mas Party was a gay affair.

Gail Jolliff, Margie Blanchard. Jon Ewigle-
ben, Arden Campbell, Wayne Hughes, Joyce An-
derson, Kareen Kienly, Linda Rice, and Virginia
Groover were a few of the "Romans” taking part
in the play at the Christmas Party.

Spanish Club

Beautiful senoritas . . . colorful swing-
ing skirts . . . daring bull fighters . . .
Yes, Spain is a romantic sounding place
and the members of the Spanish club al-
ways have an enjoyable evening at their
club meetings, seeing movies, playing games,
and talking about the beautiful land. Who
knows — maybe someday one of them may
be taking an exciting trip to Spain.

Arranging a colorful bulletin board display are
three advanced Spanish students, Alice Cogley,
Regina Evans, and Jackie Peterson.

Audio-Visual

The Audio-Visual club certainly has a job on
its hands keeping all the high school classes sup-
plied with movies. The boys are kept busy show-
ing movies in classes, scheduling projectors, order-
ing films, and fixing any films that might have
been broken while they were being shown.

Here we see Chuck Hallas checking over a pro-
jector to be sure that it will be in good running
condition whenever it is needed.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star,” and how they did as the girls
finished transforming the gym into a winter wonderland for the
memorable evening. Carol Shannon, Gayle ffuminsky, Eleanor
Howell, Alberta Varga, Donna Shannon, Eleanor Zunich, and
Joann Cicillian are but a few r who worked so hard on both
semi-formals.

Buzz Books, a clever idea of the Debuteens, were a big help
when looking for telephone numbers or addresses of students and
teachers. Arranging a committee meeting for one of the Girls’
Clubs’ functions are Janet Schmelter, Darlene Fiorantin, and Pat
Bielewiez.

Rosalind Boughamer, Vivian Isakson, Carmen Montes, Mary Lee Phillips, Donna
Shannon, Jocelyn Hahn, Alberta Varga, Jennie Speer, Shirley Choisser, Gloria Bowman,
Pat Mills, Barbara Chirila, and Arden Campbell modeled the latest spring styles at the
Mother and Daughter Tea and Style Show.

Debuteens

Taking charge of all charity drives
was only one of the functions spon-
sored by the Debuteens. Highlighting
the year’s activities, however, were the
semi-formals, two being held due to
increased membership.

Held on the first day of spring,
Carnation Day once more proved to
be a beautiful sight as nearly every
lapel displayed one of the various
colored flowers. A successful first,
the Mother and Daughter Tea and
Style Show was enthusiastically re-
ceived as the Debs modeled the newest
spring fashions.

Convenient to students and teachers
alike, are the Buzz Books, another of
the projects sponsored throughout the
year by Debuteens.

F. B. L. A.

As students’ interests develop, various
clubs are organized, a new one this year
being the F'uture Business Leaders of
America. The main purpose of this club
is to acquaint its members with the prin-
ciples of the business world. Highlighting
this year’s activities was the convention
held on Northwestern University’s campus.

Dennis Comer and Frances Mazepa are sign-
ing the National Future Business Leaders of
America Charter at the formal initiation held
in the school library.

Art Club

This club was newly organized this
year for the purpose of offering an op-
portunity to engage in art activities for
those students interested. Oil paintings,
interior designing, cartooning, and ceram-
ics were only a few of the many aspects
of art taken up this year.

Bertha Powell. Jim Topping, and Betty Moss
agree that making cufflinks is not only an en-
joyable pastime but also a useful one.

F. H. A.

The role of wife and mother which
each girl will someday portray, is the
groundwork for activities of the Future
Homemakers of America. By friendly dis-
cussion, the members attempt to acquainl
themselves with the homemakers’ various
problems. The main objective of the club,
though, is for each girl to start a very
useful and worthwhile project, her hope
chest.

Busily working on different phases of their
projects are Ruth Pinkerton, Janet Carlson,
Angeline Rocoff, Nancy Zakzewski, and Doris
Snyder, officers of the F.H.A.

It wasn’t very often that Douglas LaBarr, editor-in-chief,
and Jack Walker, business manager, got together to check
on details of the yearbook, so trying to get this picture taken
proved to be quite a task.

“Oh I’ll never get my section done.” “If I
could only think of something to write!” “Where
are all the pictures I scheduled last week?” These
are only a few of the moans and groans that can
be heard coming from room 302, especially when
deadline time is drawing near.

Yearbook work begins in the early summer
when the editor-in-chief goes to Bloomington to

Doug LaBarr was down at I.U. attending the In-
stitute, he received a scholarship, valued at 8150

to Create Your Memories

In September when the ‘"dummy” is made and
everything is all set, all the editors under Doug
begin work on their sections. First, all the neces-
sary pictures are taken and then all the copy for
them is written. Of course everything doesn’t run
that smoothly and when pictures have to be taken
over and over again and when one has to spend
an hour writing 15 words of copy, all sorts of

unpleasant words can be heard coming from the
lips of the editors.

Along with the hard work and little unpleas-
antries goes a lot of fun, however, and the night
of the yearbook dance there is a little glow of
pride around each person that worked on the staff.
One whole year of w r ork really pays off when we
see the final end of our work.

Sports

With Hobart High School’s ever growing
student body there has to come accompany-
ing development in other areas — the faculty
is being increased, more classes scheduled,
new subjects added, and the sports department
expanded, all this in spite of a growing lack
of facilities.

One evidence of a growth in sports was this
year’s intramural program, of which so many
students took advantage. Every morning and
noon hour tiny Roosevelt gym echoed to the
voices of sports-loving teenagers enjoying
themselves. And then it was announced that
next year Hobart teams would no longer par-
ticipate in the Calumet Conference, an an-
nouncement which many had anticipated and
which led to many discussions, pro and con,
on the wisdom of such a step.

The hue and cry for organized baseball at
Hobart was taken up by many students. The
administration complied. No doubt about it,
sportswise Hobart High has really grown —
in fact outgrown, in many ways, its space,
facilities and equipment.

Brickies Win 7-Lose 3

As summer came to an end. Hobart’s football men
received their season’s greetings from Coach Deal. He
informed them that practice started August 15, and
they should get into condition. Out they came, prac-
ticed twice a day, and before they knew 1 it their first
game was here.

The Brickies traveled to Whiting, played in a very
strong wind, and came out on the losing end (13-0).
However, it didn’t take long for the Deal-men to re-
cover, for the following week they went on to down
East Gary 32-0. Now that the old win spirit was really
in them, they dropped Lowell 34-0.

Coach Deal put them through rugged paces for
the Valparaiso game, and Hobart w'on 26-6. Our team
then traveled to Crown Point and met the Bulldogs on
their home turf, defeating them with a score of 19-0.
Next in Hobart’s line of conflict was Griffith, hut Old
Man Weather reared his ugly head and caused a week
of rain to fall in the Calumet area, leaving our foot-
ball field and dressing rooms under four feet of water.
As the water receded, the Brickies gained momentum
and came swimming through to drown Griffith 25-6.

Now sporting a five game winning streak, we met
Merrillville in. as always, a hard, tough fight and
emerged the victors with a final score of 13-0. Next

was Gary Edison, a test for the Calumet Conference
championship. Well there isn’t much you can say ex-
cept, as Coach Deal stated. “The boys just let down and
we went down 30-0. The team tried to shake it off
hut again they fell after a hard fight with Gary Roose-
velt, 21-14. The Brickies closed out their season
against Bloomington and won 19-7, ending a win-
ning season with seven victories and three defeats.

Outstanding player for the ’54-’55 squad was half-
hack Bill Gravel, who passed, ran. and place kicked his
way through opposing teams to score a total of 130
points for the season. Bill was, once again, placed on
the conference all star team along with outstanding
tackle and lineman, Joe Kovel.

Others who came in the scoring column were Ray
Marconi with 18 points. Sonny Pavel with 12, Bob
Sosa also with 12, and Dale Hatten with 6. Whitey
Malmquist was always there to kick us out of trouble
when we needed his help.

in 1954 Football Season

Hobart’s boy, Marconi, is brought to ground as Brickies and Panthers look on. Identified players are Joe Kovel (761, Bob
Manwaring (40), Fritz Ruchti (32), and Dave Clemens (53).

A punt return brought to an end in the Merrillville-Hobart game. Here linebacker Hatten charges in as ball carrier is brought
to rest. Hobart’s Goliath of the team, big Russell Garriott (30), stands in readiness to back up anything the Brickies have not
already accomplished.

Once again a now famous Freeland to Gravel pass is completed
for needed yardage in the Hohart vs. Merrillville game.

RUGGED SCHEDULE AHEAD

“In 1955 Hobart High School will be play-
ing its toughest football schedule in its history.
If Hobart should be on the winning end of this
schedule, we could claim the title to the mythical
state championship. Newcomers to Hobart’s sched-
ule this year are Emerson of Gary, East Chicago
Roosevelt, Hammond Noll, and Hammond Mor-
ton. (Emerson and Roosevelt are always in the
running for the state championship.)

“Hobart opens its season next year with the
mythical state champions, Whiting. Our boys
have played championship football for the past
five years and we expect to remain on the win-
ning side of the ledger. This “winning” can only
be done by playing one game at a time and con-
centrating as each week passes. If our boys re-
member that it’s not the size of the dog that’s in
the fight that counts, but the size of the fight
that’s in the dog, we will continue to be a win-
ning football team.

“Our country is based upon the spirit of com-
petition. Competition exists only because of each
individual’s desire to wdn. There is no such thing
as a person wanting to lose. TJie will to win is
one of the basic desires of mahkind. With this
will we can be a championship football team.
Our goal next year is for a bigger, better, harder
hitting football team than Hobart has ever had
in its entire history. WE WILL WIN! ! !”

of Hobart tries to put on the brakes. Iden-

Coming in on a wing and prayer

point landing displayed by Ray Mar-
coni. Watching and making sure Ray
doesn’t get hurt is Bob Manwaring.

Merrillville fans will be able to tell.

Varsity Basketball

The old adage that experience is never easily gained
was well exemplified by the 1954-55 edition of the Ho-
bart High School basketball team. Brickie hardwood men
squabbled, fought, and literally kicked their way through
a rugged 20 game schedule w'hich ended with Hobart’s
boosters possessing a 2-18 won-lost record.

Clearing the smoke away from the season’s losing
battles one could condemn the Hobart netmen’s season
as a total loss. However, aside from the cold statistical
view, Hobart’s seemingly hapless basketeers gained much
needed experience throughout the season — a beneficial
point not to be neglected. This well earned and sorely
gained element will bear ripe fruit when next year’s
squad takes the floor.

Boasting only two seniors, seven experienced juniors
and one sophomore, Hobart netmen gallantly struck out
on their twenty game jaunt with a 49-60 opening defeat
at the hands of the Wheeler Bearcats. High points of
the season were reached w r hen, to the fans’ delight,
Hobart proudly clobbered East Gary and Portage 60-57
and 74-73 respectively.

Mid-game glance catches Jim Vanderplough (33), John Malmquist
(34), and Jim Moody (22) dazedly watching the flight of the not
visible ball.

Reserve Basketball

Up, up and up goes Stewart Kraft (30) amid foes,
grasping for the rebounding ball, as John Malmquist (34)
stands by to help.

Hobart High School’s 1954-55 reserve basketball team
traveled through an 18 game schedule and emerged posses-
sing a 8-10 won-lost record.

The reserve hardwood men initiated the season rightly
with a 46-21 opening rout of Wheeler. Tougher competi-
tion found the team with a string of five unbroken defeats
resulting. Bouncing back quickly Hobart’s younger set
trounced Crown Point 33-24 and proceeded to knock off
three other opponents for a four game streak. An almost
even succession of win one and lose one continued until
the season closed.

1955 Track Prospectus

The outlook for the 1955 track season of the
Rambling Brickies appears very bright despite the
fact that Coach Frank Kurth, completing his 15th sea-
son as track coach of the Ho-Hi thinclad squad, has
lined up the toughest schedule of major track and
field competition to be found in the state.

Their indoor schedule sends the trackmen against
Hammond, Culver Military Academy, the Crown Point
Invitational Meet and the Hoosier Relays at Indiana
University fieldhouse, which is the largest high school
meet in the country with over 800 athletes taking part.

Beginning in early April, the Brickies were called
upon to face the following outdoor schedule: Hammond
Clark, Hammond Tech, East Chicago Roosevelt, “Little
5” Meet, Delphi Relays, Goshen Relays, Logansport
Relays, Valparaiso, Gary Roosevelt (1954 State
Champions), Froebel, Calumet Conference, Sectional,
Regional and State Meets.

Planning for another successful season, such as
was celebrated in 1954 when the Brickies placed 11th

in the final state meet among the 556 teams that entered
sectionals, are many returning major letter winners.
These lads include the following:

Stewart Kraft, Russell Garriott, Tom Weakland,
Dave Clemens, Jim Freeland, Tim Wood, Chuck Hallas,
John Malmquist, Emmett Dorsey, Frank Ross, Ronald
Miles, Gerald Reese and Bob Houston. Also high on
the list of hopefuls of Coach Kurth are Ted Talian,
Frank Thomas, George Swetkey, Wayne Cardwell,
Fritz Ruchti, Dick Netzhammer, Bob Marszalek, Alan
Addison, Louis Houston, Lewis Hill, Dan Beres, Bob
Millus, Bill Sommers, Jim Douglas, Manfred Oesterode,
Pete Scofield, John Overdeck, Bob Gravel, Tom Welch,
Jim Fahey, Scott Wilson, Gilbert Tarbutton and Bob
Albers.

With several outstanding performers for each event,
the Brickie spike-shoe athletes hope to capture their
share of top individual and meet honors. Two meet
records they hope to retain are championships in
Little “5” (15th) and Calumet Conference (8th) suc-
cessive years.

NOTE—

The oldest athletic activity on the high school athletic program in Hobart is that of the track
and field sport. Many fine athletes have represented Hobart during these past decades in the
record books. This year will conclude the 15th for Coach Frank Kurth as Brickie track mentor.
All of the above records represent the efforts of athletes during his 15 year tenure. Ray Ciszek,
Carl Shield and Jim Johnston won state championships.

In the 100 yard dash, it’s Stewart Kraft taking second
place, following him is Bob Marszalek.

Going up and over the pole vault bar is Dave Clemens,
who vaulted 10 feet 6 inches in the Little Five Meet to
take first place.

Russ Garriott, giant Brickie weight tosser, put the shot 54 feet
11% inches in the Little Five Meet, missing Carl Shield’s record as a
junior of 55 feet by % of an inch. Russ has set his goal at 56 feet
and hopes to reach it by the end of this track season.

It’s Tim Wood leading the pack in the East Chicago-Hobart
meet. Close behind him is Danny Beres to take second place.

At Valpo, it is Tom Weakland coming down the gravel path
to see how far he can go in the broadjump.

John Malmquist, leading the pack, clears the high hurdles
in 15.8 seconds, to set a new record for the Little Five Meet.

Clearing the low hurdles is Frank Ross. Close beside him
are two Valpo hurdlers.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1954 CROSS COUNTRY SEASON

“Without a doubt, the 1954 cross country harriers will go
into the record books as the best squad of hill and dalers to
represent Hobart in this activity over the past fifteen seasons.”
So states Coach Frank Kurth who has handled the teams over
this period of years.

Beginning their workouts in mid August, a squad of thirty
candidates answered the call. Coach Kurth outlined the work
program in which he hoped the athletes would reach their
peak by sectional time and championship hopes.

The squad raced through their first five meets without a
miss before meeting their first loss of the season in their own
big Invitational Meet which is billed as the oldest and largest
event of its kind in the state.

and Sectional Champs

Placing fifth in the twenty-four team field that entered the
Hobart Invitational, the Brickies picked up needed experience
and confidence to complete the season in grand style. Blooming-
ton, making a 200 mile trip for the Brickie Meet, captured
top honors.

Next followed the 8th Annual Calumet Conference Meet.
The Brickie gallopers responded with a record performance of
20 points for low score and their eighth successive CC Cham-
pionship.

The meet that Coach Kurth had pointed the squad for all
season was next, the IHSAA sectional contest. To the amaze-
ment of all concerned, the Brickies raced their opponents
beyond all expectations, capturing first place with a team record
low of 30 points and placing its five team members in the
first ten finishers in a field of 165 contestants and 24 teams.
Brickie individuals making the historic record were John Mosley,
2; Ted Talian, 3; Tim Wood. 6; Jack Jablonski, 9; and Stewart
Kraft, 10. The championship was the fourth for Hobart in the
eight year period. Hobart’s other champions won in 1947, 1948,
and 1950.

For a warmup before the state championship meet, the
harriers journeyed to Culver Military Academy and defeated the
Cadets and Delphi in a triangular meet.

Saturday, October 30, the best 23 teams in the state lined
up in Indianapolis for the state championship run. The Brickies
met the test with a third place finish in a tie with Marion on
143 points. Shortridge was the winner with 80 points and An-
derson second- with 120. Mosley was 8th, Talian 18th, Wood
34th, Kraft 36th and Beres 47th to make up the team score.

Major awards went to Mosley, Wood, Talian, Kraft, Jablonski,
Weakland, Beres and Franklin Thomas. Jay Baron was the
manager.

Girls' Athletic
Association

The Girls’ Athletic Association is ever in-
creasing in popularity at Hobart High. Each
year sees more girls trying to join and each
year many are put on a waiting list because
of the large membership. The club has grown
so much in the past two years that there are
now two clubs instead of one.

The purpose of the G.A.A. is to interest
more girls in sports, which it has successfully
done. The girls enjoy participating in sports
because at the end of the year they are given
awards for points they have accumulated. It is
the goal of the club to build a more extensive
program and to let all participate.

Mary Beth Stonebraker gets ready to skim the G.A.A. members, sit on the floor of the gym, as roll is taken. The clubs

net as her teammates watch. Deck tennis is just meet Tuesday of alternate weeks,
one of many activities that the girls take part in with
fun and enthusiasm.

Gym

Classes

The girls’ gym classes are even more
over crowded this year than in the
past, but even so, Mrs. Klingberg
manages to set up an extensive athletic
program for the girls. Included in this
program are deck tennis, volley ball,
calesthenics, basketball, track, and
softball. Of all the sports, basketball
seems to be the favorite.

One of the most popular sports in Mrs. Klingberg’s classes is basketball,
as Helen Thyen shows here by taking a shot for her team.

Carmen Montes hits one straight away, good for a base in a girls’ soft-
ball game. Spring weather brings out the gym classes for their share of that
long-awaited sunshine.

A photographic catastrophe — but we needed some-
thing to fill this space. Some one — unknown —
takes the high jump too fast for a slow camera.

People

America is called the boiling pot of nations. In
the same vein a high school may be termed a boiling
pot of humanity on a small but important scale. All
types of persons, both students and teachers, are the
ingredients which bubble in the cauldron. Fat and
thin, tall and short, introverted and extroverted,
merry and moody, — each is a striking individual, yet
an integral part of the complicated mass.

Along with the physical growth that naturally
attends a teenager’s years in high school, it is in-
evitable that a mental growth of a sort, either positive
or negative, will result. The people with whom we
have worked and played this year have played a
tremendous part — for good or ill — in the growth and
maturing of our personalities.

Hobart

Mr. Arlie Kerr, new superintendent of
Hobart city schools, graduated from Wal-
nut Grove High School in Hamilton
County, Indiana. After receiving his bach-
elor of science degree in Education at
Ball State Teachers College in 1926, he
went on to receive his master’s degree at
Indiana University in 1932. Since that
time he has taken additional graduate work
at Purdue University.

This year Mr. Kerr has attempted to
work out, with the administration and
other officials, an administrative hand-
book governing the policies of the Board
of Trustees of the Hobart schools. Also,
he has written up the results of a survey
taken last year of the school system. Mr.
Kerr hopes to see, within the next few
years, all the students adequately housed
in modern classrooms and at the same
time to keep and further improve the
high standards of work and instruction.

BOARD OF EDUCATION — Joyce Muir, secretary to
superintendent; Donald Sporre, secretary of board; William
Rippe, treasurer of board; John Treanor, president of
board; Walter Heidenreich, member of board; Alice Ham-
ilton, member of board; Arley G. Kerr, superintendent.

City Schools

With the great increase of enrollment in
recent school years, many problems have
had to be faced by the administration. The
attendance at the convocations, the crowded
classrooms, and the small gymnasium all
show the need of a new high school build-
ing. After much discussion the proposed
date was set for 1958. With these main
problems, smaller ones developed. Mr.
Moody states that the worst of these is the
disrupting of classes, and he adds that “with-
out the patience and cooperation of the
teachers, the work of administration here
would be almost too difficult for anyone.”

Eugene Wise
Director of Attendance
and Child fCelfare

Administrative Office — Joyce Muir, secretary to superintendent: Marie Western bookkeeper; Mildred
Lenburg, financial secretary.

Hobart

High School

“I enjoy my profession because the public
school is free. Its doors are open to all the
people, regardless of wealth, birth, or social
background. The public school is the uni-
fying force in America. It makes our people
one. No other institution touches the life
of every citizen.

“In 20 years I have found young boys
and girls becoming more intelligent, better
educated, and in general, better citizens.

“My deep regret is that the public is
sometimes slow in appreciating its schools
and what they COULD do for youth. Amer-
ica is and will continue to be only as strong
as its school systems — or as weak”

Harold Moody, principal
Senior High School

PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE — Shirley Rampke, financial sec-retary; Mary Broda, assistant bookkeeper; Marian Wesley,
secretary-registrar.

DOROTHY THOMPSON
VICE PRINCIPAL

The Hobart High School Guidance Department
includes all the Hobart High School administrative
offices and all the Hobart High School teachers.
They are concerned with each pupil and all of his or
her problems: (a) orientation and school adjustment,
(b) discipline, and attendance, (c) choosing, locating,
and qualifying for a vocation, (d) selecting a college,
scholarships, financial aid, etc., (e) right thinking on
personal problems.

MARION BAILEY
GUIDANCE DIRECTOR

The most serious problem is not enough counselors
and space for them to work. We should have a mini-
mum of one full time counselor for each 200 pupils.
We have the equivalent of two counselors for 1,075
pupils.

In a building, which was built for about 500
students, this condition puts an added burden on the
student body as well as the administration offices.
